The classic seventies sitcom Happy Days was pure nostalgia for a time twenty years before it aired. So much changed in those two decades but some things stayed the same.
Here are 16 vintage advertisements from either the 1950s, when Happy Days takes place, or the 1970s, when the show was produced. Can you properly place each ad in the right decade?

The FIRST one got me!
''You got 8 out of 16'' --------------Some didn't ''ad'' up. Better luck next time!
12/16. Tougher than expected.
13 out of 16; missed questions 8, 9, and 10. 😁
Missed 1 I magnified the page on the J Wayne add the guest list was a give away it was the 70s
You couldn’t guess John Wayne by his heavier, older (long-haired) appearance? I’m sort of surprised that one stumped so many people!
Ouch.
Bombed that one.

Some didn't "ad" up. Better luck next time!
I forgot the 'Alf explanation'.
If the ad appeared from the 50s, it was a 70s ad
trying to be retro.
If the ad was straight forward, it was a 50s ad, with no pretensions.

Great quiz,live the we app.
I got a wee bit over 1/2 right. I love commercials and advertisements. I have all of the ad books a publishing business called TASHEN has put out. These books are weighty tomes, and worth every penny. theyh are very well put together and printed. For those of you who haven't seen them I highly recommend that you check them out. If you can't afford them you can at least {I think} get a free look on Amazon.
I mean I have all the volumes that the have printed from the early 1900's-1990's.

12/16. The hairstyles and clothes in the pictures helped on a lot of them.
Aside from what you said helped you, {which also helped me,} were theway the ads were. How they were printed, hwo they looked. Although there were a couple/few which I thought were '50's, but weren't!
Ouch! 7/16..
I get those Ouches too sometimes!
Boy , was that bad and I grew upon this lol 🙋🏻♀️
You're a good sport for trying!
